Online marketplace and retail chain bigshoebazaar.Com, as part of its plan to emerge as a Rs 100 crore firm in three years, has tied up with Red Tape to market and promote sales of the footwear maker's entire range of products.
The company, promoted by the former Vishal Retail CEO (Corporate Affairs) Manmohan Agarwal, will handle the leading footwear brand's entire online shopping transaction process, delivery and customer service for the next five years.
"This agreement will help us increase our presence among the 8.8 crore internet users in the country. Along with some other agreements we had signed over past few months, this will help us in achieving our target of becoming a Rs 100 crore firm by 2012," Agarwal told PTI.
He said the firm is in talks with some other footwear makers for tie-ups but refused to give details.
"Online shopping has penetrated big time in the West and we see a potential for replicating it in India," Agarwal said.
